Speech-to-Text (CPU/GPU)

• Model: openai/whisper-tiny (MIT)
• Task: Transcribe short audio clips. Requires ffmpeg installed.
• Note: Here we just provide the resources for to run this models in the laptops we didn't develop this entire models we just use the open source models for the experiment this model is developed by OpenAI

Quick start (any project)

Tip: If you have a GPU + CUDA, PyTorch will auto-use it. If not, everything runs on CPU (slower but works).
